Alberto and Andrea were an amazing set of people! - The trip was fantastic with stunning views of the cities, mountains, lakes and rivers, but what really made the whole thing one of the best trips I’ve been on was Andrea and Alberto! Alberto’s guidance and information was incredibly helpful and his recommendations were always spot on! Andrea’s driving was smooth, comfortable and got us exactly where we needed to be with minimal delays despite multiple bouts of traffic and roadworks! Genuinely an amazing experience for me and my group and I would love to have both of these guys take us on a trip again in the future!

Beautiful city and gorgeous lake views! - Our guide Melanie and our driver (whose name begins with a C) were excellent. She provided a lot of information throughout the trip, which was very informative and helpful. Melanie clearly loves Salsburg and the nearby lake region. I would highly recommend this tour as it allows you sufficient free time within the city and I encourage you to wander and “get lost.” She provided a lot of information throughout the trip, which was very informative and helpful.

The second part of the day was the boat ride on the lake at the town of St. Wolfgang. The boat ride on the lake at the town of Saint Wolfgang. It was the highlight of my entire trip to Munich. It was the highlight of my entire trip to Munich! Yes, it costs an additional €16 and it is pretty much mandatory but it is very smooth and so beautiful so don’t be put off by that.

Beautiful city and lake tour - Saltzburg was beautiful. We took a horse and buggy ride during our break. Wolfgang Lake was beautiful and we had wonderful weather. The bus driver did a wonderful job navigating the way and picking us up at the Lake on the return to Munich.

Great Guide! - Melanie was a wonderful guide! There were some hitches that she rose above and handled beautifully. One could tell how much she loves the area! She provided many personal nuggets as she spent much of her youth in the region

Not near enough free... - Not near enough free time. Didn’t have enough time in Salzburg to go up to the castle and have lunch. Guide was good, but everything seemed rushed.

Gorgeous scenery; arrangement could have done better - Comfortable coach with aircon; nice views and experience at Salzburg and the Lake in particular. please note the Lake boat trip is optional at charge which is mentioned on Viator website but the guide did not mention there is a choice, she did not tell what the plan is if not taking the boat trip - She only said the charge is Euro 16 and then she came to collect, looks like it is mandatory. This is not nicely presented. Having said that, it is highly recommended to take the boat trip, the lake view is magnificent. Also, you must carry your passport. Viator website should include such important info. the guide will check upon your arrival but this is too late.

Good trip but wish we had more time in Salzburg - The Lake District was beautiful and the boat ride is a must do. Wish it already came in the price of the tour. I do wish there was more time in Salzburg and a speaker or some audio piece so we can hear the tour guide better. It was a big group so hard to hear the tour guide on any information. I would not recommend this to people who cannot understand English very well.

Not a Spanish tour - There is no clear explanation on the side of the meeting point, the guide spoke only English. It is NOT a tour in Spanish or with audio guide or anything. This is wrong because it is not the tour that was requested. They left us at a point near d Amira el without clearly explaining that they would just leave us there, that we could walk etc and return until after noon to the bus. Just a few passengers we spend typical of how to get back and see each other at a certain time to get to the bus. Very bad of the driver. Although the places are beautiful and so I put 3 rating, bad for the guide from the start. I understand that the guide does this many times but there are people for whom it is the first time and they must trust in detail, clearly before we get off the bus for all to hear. Bad for the company he represents. I have already taken several Tours and it is the first time I have been disappointed to the extent that I do NOT recommend this tour. Consider it because there will be several with this complaint and from different countries.
